      “The more of their accounts of gender dysphoria I’ve read, with their insightful descriptions of anxiety, dissociation, eating disorders, self-harm and self-hatred, the more I’ve wondered whether, if I’d been born 30 years later, I too might have tried to transition."

            Yeah but transphobes don’t believe that. They’re convinced that confused kids get groomed into being transgender the same way socially isolated boys get groomed into incel/far right groups.
